Suevic
Hi. Well, that's an interesting proposition! For that subject we have:

i) Onomastic material: the name of the Suevi of Galicia + Germanic names in use in Galicia during the Early and High Middle Ages (most notably those not used in Catalonia or Castille) + place names. For this onomastic material we have, together with other works, the Hispano-gotisches Namenbuch by Josef Piel and Dieter Kremer (where "-gotisches" have a linguistic connotation, as they include names of Suevic persons).

ii) (Loan)words incorporated into Galician and/or Portuguese, and sometimes also nearby Spanish/Leonese dialects. Here we have the rather utile, but non exhaustive, Dicionario Critico Etimologico Castellano e Hispanico, by Joan Coromines, who had a much better access to Galician than Gamillscheg of Meyer-Lübke; still, this is a work about Spanish, so it is not exhaustive in relation with Galician. We have also some contribution by Dieter Kremer, and some local scholars.

As you stated, the main problem here is to differentiate Suevic and Gothic. Most scholars just decided to assume that Sueves were West Germanic speakers and Gothic East Germanic ones, but it is a notable thing that most of the names used among the Sueves of Galicia were clearly East Germanic (cf. Kremer/Piel "Hispano-gotisches Namenbuch"), not different from the ones used by Vandals or Visigoths. In the other hand, and for the Iberian Peninsula, Galicia and northern Portugal in the west, and Catalonia in the east, are where the Germanic personal names were more popular and diverse among the locals, and where we find a larger and more diverse Germanic imprint in the form of loan words and place names.

Then again, the problem with this article would be that a) most evidences are open to debate, as either Suevic or Gothic words; b) I would have to be very careful to not incorporate original research into the article... I let you know if I decide to write this one :-) Cheers.--Froaringus (talk) 14:53, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

The wrong person
Hey there. Look, when you post an edit request in a protected-template, two thing happens: Either a template editor or administrator asks you a question and you impress them with your answer, in which case they do the change. But if you try to bully, defy, offend or otherwise elude them, they will put a not done on your message and ignore you; no one else will commit to your request and even if they did, original TE or admin can veto them.

So, do yourself and us a favor and do the first thing. These guys are very easy to impress, especially with examples and source. 188.245.83.59 (talk) 14:59, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I don’t care. The template’s owner (you?) already decided that they won’t do the change because of their (your?) point of view against artificial languages, and nothing I say will change their point of view on that. Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV (talk) 17:44, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Apparently, you did. A registered user backed you up because of your halfhearted comment and a change is being endorsed. You should believe in the power of friendliness. Well, I guess next time, you just nail it the first time. 46.62.182.15 (talk) 16:55, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
 * How can friendliness change someone’s dislike of artificial languages? Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV (talk) 05:54, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
